Effortless Photo Session Planning: What to Expect

    • We start with a Discovery zoom/phone call, where I answer any questions you have about the shoot and pricing. Together we will decide if we're a good fit to work together. If we decide to move forward we'll decide on a date for your photoshoot.

    • A contract & Session Fee Invoice will be sent out. Once they are returned you'll get an invitation for your personalized Design Consultation call. We can meet in person or over zoom.

    • The Design Consultation call is all about designing your photo shoot. We'll talk about wardrobe, what your favourite snacks are, and how I can pamper you.

    • On the day of your shoot we'll start with a walk through of the wardrobe pieces you brought While you're in hair & makeup I'll get everything ready for the shoot. The actual shoot will only take about 90 mins.

    • I like to spend 30-45mins at the end of the shoot doing your reveal. You will see everything that was captured and we'll narrow your images to your top picks. We will talk about the Print Package available and options for Wall Art. I have examples of everything in my studio. If more time is needed to decide on the package you want, a time will be set before you leave.

    • I like to have the ordering completed no later than 2 weeks after the shoot. There is a lot of work that goes into prepping your images for printing. And, the printing process takes 4-6 weeks.

    • You will receive an itemized invoice with your choices. This invoice is due in full prior to the retouching process. You will receive proofs to approve before your order is sent to the printers. An online Gallery with your digital downloads when your order is sent for printing. A digital image is included with each printed image you purchase. Your online Gallery will be available to you for a month after you receive your order.

    • The process is thorough and I will walk you through each step. I want you to enjoy the process. I have aligned myself with industry leading partners so you don't have to worry about anything.

  • Packages start at $2,000. They include beautifully matted prints in a luxurious Reveal Box. All of my printed materials are made and produced in Italy.

    Session Fee is $700 and it is applied 100% toward the print package of your choice. You only purchase what you love.

    Print Packages start at $2,000. Most of my clients get the top package as that is where they find the most saving/image.

    Wall Art starts at $1,000

    We have samples of everything to help with your decision making process.

  • The short answer is no.

    Professional Hair & Makeup is complimentary for my Empowerment Sessions. These sessions are more Glamour based and the attention to detail a Professional Hair & Makeup artist brings to the shoot ensures you have a chance to relax and be pampered.

    For As I Am Raw Portrait Sessions I ask that you come as you are. These sessions are about self discovery and being present the way you are now.

  • For Empowerment Sessions approx. 4-5 hours is needed.

    Hair & Makeup will take about 90 mins. The shoot itself will take about 2 hours. That leaves time for wardrobe changes and time to breathe. Your image reveal will be about 30-45 mins.

    For As I Am Raw Portrait Sessions we need about 3 hours.

    The shoot is about 2 hours. That gives time for 2 wardrobe changes and time to breathe. The image reveal usually takes 30-45 mins.

    I want you to enjoy the process and not feel rushed. I only book one client on shooting days. If we need more time we have it available.

  • We will walk through everything you need to prepare during our Design Consultation call. You will also receive a personalized Prep Guide to recap everything we talked about. Don't worry I got you!

    • In Person or Zoom Design Consultation

    • Wardrobe Style

    • Use of our Studio Wardrobe

    • Fully guided posing through multiple outfits, backgrounds and lighting setups.

    • Immediate image reveal where you select the images you love.

  • The short answer is both. Weather on the west coast is unpredictable so the great outdoors is not always a guarantee.

    I have a beautiful studio space located in Sunny South Surrey. It’s just above the Tap & Barrel on 152nd Street.

    If you prefer to have your shoot outdoors there are many beautiful murals we can use as your back drop. Some of my favourite ones are in Langley, check out the Langley Mural Walk (https://www.downtownlangley.com/events-calendar/mural-walk). Vancouver has hundreds to choose from including Pink Alley at 688 West Hastings St and the colourful umbrellas at the Yaletown Canada Line Station. You can download the Vancouver Mural Festival app to see all the murals in Vancouver. (https://vanmuralfest.ca/murals) We can pick the right mural for you and your shoot.

    Let your imagination be your guide.
